The first automobiling book published in America. This is an account by a Flint, Michigan-born Chicago-based attorney and art collector who headed east on a 2000 mile trip. Passing through and by famous American landmarks, offering a unique picture of America at the turn of the twentieth century, the book is a delightful and practical guide to traveling by car in the earliest days of the automobile.
